Hi,
I need to enter text comprising of newline characters as a parameter value for a REST request in SOAPUI.
The API accepts this data in UTF 8 format.
How do I actually represent new line characters as part of my test data that would be passed as a value to a parameter for the REST request?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramesh
Could you not just send a string and use new liner separators?
Passing the character "\n" (for newline) as part of the text for the test data does not work.
So, if I pass the text as, say, -:
Hello \n World
In the response, the text appears the same as -:
Hello \n World
and not as -:
Hello
World
I also tried using ASCII characters to represent the newline and also CDATA constructs, but nothing seems to work.
Please help.
Try "\\n"
\\n also does not work.
the following has some info on how to encode parameters
https://www.soapui.org/testing-dojo/best-practices/understanding-rest-headers-and-parameters.html
\r\n too does not work.
you can use the percent-encoded value for a new line, it's %0D%0A although %0A(ASCII 10 - line feed) or %0D (ASCII 13 - carriage return) should work alone.
Also disable URL encoding of the parameter value for the REST resource/method when using custom encoding in this case.
For custom encoding handling when setting a parameter value (the “Disable Encoding” setting)

\r is another way of doing new line I was not going to expect that to work
Try searching online line man I am sure someone must have solution to this one
